Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.

Watch for cold related symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and colour change in fingers and toes.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NUstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #NUStorm.

Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.
